Twins Growing Out of Control Now!

Hard to believe that the twins just passed the 15 month mark. Not a day goes by without them entered into unchartered waters. Last week Grace learned how to give kisses (with a wide open mouth ... still working on the peck on the lips), Darien learned how to open up the toilet lid, open all of the doors in our house, turn a roll of toilet paper into confetti, and more. Everyday is the same routine: wake up, eat, get ALL of their toys out of the bin, deposit them in random places throughout the house, eat, nap, take all of the tupperware out of the cabinet, make a run for the bathroom to see if they can sneak in when mommy's not watching, eat, see daddy when he gets home from work, play steamroller, monster, and disco dancing, eat, bottle, pajamas, lay down with daddy for a half hour while drinking said bottle, in the crib (with daddy sneaking out of the room on all fours so he's not seen). Each night, at 2 AM and 6 AM ... bottle and diaper changes. Then repeat the whole cycle over again. It's our hope that they'll sleep all the way through the night without the need for mid-air milk refueling, but mommy and I can't bear their midnight cries - yeah, we're softies.

Here is a picture of Darien and Grace at Christmas time!
